Comments:
BEAUTIFUL DAY. Had a good AM of work and it got super-nice out for the noon run. Went easy with Jeff, then I added on to get the "long run" in before the Shuffle on Sun.

Felt MEH on the early loop. We started off pretty good: like 6:40, but then Jeff started falling off. Of COURSE, he drank ZERO WATER all day and today was warm and DRY. By the time we got to the N side of the river he was really dragging ass, so I MADE him stop at VRC to get a drink. First time I stopped in a MALL mid-run since maybe 1997, when Breezy and I literally ran through Oakwood mall in EC.

The rest of the run was better with some hydration. As for me, my legs felt like SHIT. WTF? It felt like my shoes were dead: lateral quad and calf trash. Sucked. The legs did feel a bit better when we slowed down and I transitioned to more "flat foot" strike.

Stopped back at work, grabbed some water, then added on the West PRE. Felt tired but OK. Too bad I didn't feel better because the weather was INCREDIBLE.

Did a whole bunch of nothing the rest of the day.
